A Ph.D. in English will help you to develop research skills that support professional practice, research, and/or academic careers. You will work closely with a team of specialist academics in your chosen field and receive excellent support tailored to your individual needs.
A Ph.D. enables you to follow a programme of self-directed, independent study, supported by experienced supervisors who are themselves experts in their area. You will also be supported by the wider research community in the Faculty and you will have regular opportunities to attend research seminars, conferences, and symposia.
Why Choose Us?
The School of English at BCU is a small, friendly academic environment that offers excellent support to all of our Ph.D. students.
As well as the main supervisor (or Director of Studies), you will have a second supervisor to read and comment on your work.
We have a strong research culture and provide a range of career development opportunities to our graduate students.
Entry Requirement
Admission Requirements:
To apply for our Art and Design Ph.D. research degree you should have, or expect to be awarded, a Masters degree in a relevant subject area from a British or overseas university.
Exceptional candidates without a Master's degree, but holding a first-class Bachelors degree in a relevant subject area, may be considered.
We also welcome enquiries from potential Ph.D. researchers without formal academic qualifications but with appropriate levels of professional experience.
If you intend to take a practice-led research approach to your Ph.D. study, then you will be expected to show your portfolio as part of the application process, normally at the formal interview stage.
Please send us an initial Ph.D. inquiry containing your brief Ph.D. research proposal (max. 500 words), and/or any questions or queries you may have.
